(KLZA)-- The Mound City Board of Education heard an update last week on the building project at the school. 

Superintendent Ken Eaton said the multipurpose room should be enclosed by the end of February so the utility work can be done. The multipurpose room should be completed by the middle of June.

The elevator project is underway, but time restraints slow the progress.  During the Christmas vacation the elevator shaft was cut out. The permanent walls need to be put in place for the elevator shaft, but that work can only be done on nights and weekends when there is no school  

The rain last spring and summer slowed down the work on the project, which was originally supposed to have been done by the first of the year.
